The Conservancy posthumously honored attorney and community activist Terence H. Benbow with its legacy award.

TD Bank Regional Market Manager Joseph Doolan received the the Stewardship Award, while Christopher Williams, the owner of Williams Eye Works, received the Community Award for his efforts supporting the greenbelt and protecting Pouch Camp.

"The theme of this year's gala was 'celebrating a legacy of preservation,'" said Greenbelt Conservancy President Donna Hakim. "It is our history of preserving open space and woodlands that brought us all together this evening. We celebrated our successes and our mission to carry on the tradition of stewardship."
